With your help, we can do much more to ensure students across the nation learn about the ideas and principles at the heart of American political life.

Donate Today

Give now to support education in the ideas and principles of the American Founding.

Right now, a future president is sitting in a college classroom. Today’s college students are tomorrow’s judges, teachers, business and political leaders. What should they be learning?

The future of our nation depends on having knowledgeable and committed citizens. The Jack Miller Center works to revitalize education in America’s history and its founding principles. Our goal is that every student learns the ideas that informed the founding of our nation so that they may preserve our freedoms for future generations.

Here at the Jack Miller Center, we support a nationwide community of professors and educators who share our mission. To date, some 900 JMC fellows on more than 300 campuses have taught more 800,000 students across the country. But this is just a start.

“America’s freedoms depend on what students learn, especially during their years in university. The JMC’s goal is transformational change in student access to education in American government, history, and political economy that will prepare them to understand and sustain the vision of a free people expressed in the Declaration of Independence and supported by our constitutional order.”

– Mike Ratliff, former JMC President

Why Your Gift Matters, from our Faculty Partners

“With the help of the Jack Miller Center, we launched a major program at Notre Dame in Constitutional Studies, a program aimed at training graduate and undergraduate students in the American constitutional tradition of rule of law and constitutional liberty. Without JMC this program would not be possible.”

“JMC is making a real impact on the prospects of tenure-track positions for young scholars dedicated to serious teaching and scholarship on America’s founding principles, history, and the Western tradition. Indeed I think it is no exaggeration to say that you are reshaping the field.”

“Postdoctoral fellowships are now expected as stepping stones to full-time teaching positions. The JMC was ahead of the curve in perceiving this development, and I commend the Center for the brilliant work it has done in making sure that young scholars of great talent and commitment who might otherwise be excluded from postdoctoral opportunities are given those opportunities.”

“JMC has recognized that the life of ideas remains a legitimate, even noble, goal that is also worthy of financial investment.”

“The JMC community of professors has been invaluable to a young scholar such as me. I met many senior scholars whose wisdom and guidance have helped me in producing my own scholarship and navigating the academic landscape.”

We work with Huron Associates, a leading higher education market research firm, to evaluate the effectiveness of our programs.

Why I Give, Testimony from JMC Donor Partners

“It is my strongest belief that every student deserves the opportunity to study American history. Jack Miller Center is an organization that is making this possible.”

“I love what the JMC is doing. When I met with JMC, it spoke with me on all levels that this was something we wanted to support. It’s about bringing back the teaching of the history of our country, and your focus on the college level makes me very happy.”

“The [Y.O.T. Full Circle] Foundation sought out JMC because we believe strongly in its mission to reinvigorate civic literacy in America. We are so glad that other investors have joined our Foundation in support of teaching the future leaders of this country our founding principles and history.”

“I admire what the JMC is accomplishing and enjoy watching your impact grow. It is incredibly impressive.”
